HBO hopes to have Jon Stewart on the tube by November
HBO’s chief says he’s “hopeful.”
Click here for reuse options!In a Paley Media Council interview Thursday with CNN’s Brian Stelter, HBO CEO Richard Plepler was asked whether viewers could expect to see Stewart, former host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” on HBO before the general election.
“Yeah, I’m hopeful,” Plepler said.
Stewart signed a four-year production deal with HBO in November, three months after ending his Comedy Central run. The first project under that deal involves working with 3D graphics company OTOY on the creation of short-form video projects.
Plepler described Stewart’s approach to his upcoming HBO work as improvisational.
“It is a perfect example of bringing a remarkable original voice into the house, giving a new opportunity of expression to that original voice and saying, ‘We now have the flexibility to let you paint however you want to,’” Plepler said. “My hunch is it will evolve over time. It will iterate over time.” He added, “He has free reign to do whatever he wants.”

i used to think jon was authentic but its all show business with no definite answers
clemans May 7th, 2016 at 22:20
I don’t understand your point, but if you are talking about his shows, I don’t think you understand them
robert May 7th, 2016 at 22:24
oh i understand what he made and its not by accident His exit from comedy central was bizarre too
clemans May 7th, 2016 at 22:50
sorry but I still do not have a clue what you are talking about.
Do you know the meaning of bizarre? I am not sure if maybe you aren’t American and if English is your native language
robert May 7th, 2016 at 22:54
i do understand that 2 people should be standing when they shake hands unless you want yourself to look like the fool who made the trip.
but you don’t need me to explain that to you because your the smart one

my husband worked for over 20 years for an international corporation and had business meetings every week, and said that it is not a rule and that there are times when people shake hands when one doesn’t have a chance to stand.
He said it wasn’t bizarre.
And he decided to not do his show anymore. That was his legal right and it wasn’t bizarre either. It was awful for his fans and unusual at this time when people will do anything for money, but Jon has his own agenda.
And yes, I am smart. It doesn’t mean that nobody else is smart or that nobody knows more than me. Nearly anybody can be smart if they open their eyes, ears, and learn to think critically.

if your hubby said so,it must be true
clemans May 8th, 2016 at 17:26
he wouldn’t lie about it and when it comes down to it, the entire subject is pretty silly on your part.
